Thanks!
We have to update proposal with changing "+" symbol to "#" specifying
offset in a group (to avoid overloading the other meaning of “+”
specifying that operand is both input and output).
So current proposal of syntax is:
__asm__ (“INSTR %[group], %[single]" :
[single] "+x"(v0) :
[group]
"Yg4"(v1), “1#1"(v2), “1#2"(v3), “1#3"(v4));
where "YgN" constraint specifies group of N consecutive registers
(which is started from register having number as "0 mod 2^ceil(log2(N))"),
and "1#K" specifies the next registers in the group.
Some other questions or comments?
What about consensus on this syntax?
